The first summer production of Shakespeare Carolina's summer residency at Winthrop
begins with "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)," the popular play
that condenses all of Shakespeare's plays into less than two hours. Directed by Amanda Liles '00, the show guides the audience on a rip-roaring ride through the Bard's tragedies,
histories and comedies.

Shakespeare Carolina will present "The Man in the Iron Mask" Aug. 17-20 and 24-27
at 7 p.m. in the Winthrop Amphitheatre. This is the world premiere of an original adaptation based on the Alexandre Dumas
novel of the same name. You can expect Shakespeare Carolina's unique take on this
classic story of secrets, impersonation and power.
Tickets are $2 with a Welcome Week pass and $5 for general admission. Tickets can
be purchased online at www.shakescar.org.
